Yesterday we had a family day, spent a few hours in Stratford, ordered a new coffee/espresso maker as our Nespresso is really old and had started to leak water. Then had brunch at Jamie's Italian, Husband bought a moisturiser at Kiehls and I handed my watch in for a battery change at Links of London. In the afternoon it was time for Husband to have some man-time and he watched Formula 1 :-)
I wore a pleated dress from H&M, t-shirt (underneath the dress) and belt: Primark, wedges: Next, lace slip: Marks and Spencers, necklace: RIver Island and tights from Boots.
Had some difficulties catching up with the timer on the camera :-)
Ignore my face and its a great action picture :-P
There we go, that's what they usually look like, my outfit pictures...
Then I realised as they all look the same, let's do a silly one hahaha :-D
Astrid is experiencing a bit of colic so we need to get it sorted. Going to Mothercare to buy anticolic bottles. WE have two and they are really good, but need to buy 8 more and the Infacol, anticolic drops, as well. It makes me cry when I see her in so much pain and she can't settle so we need to get all the help we can find, starting ith the bottles and the drops. Will upload todays outfit later as I am not dressed yet. Astrid is asleep on my chest at the moment...

Nameday
Another good night sleep last night :-) Feeling very spoilt and I am waiting for the bubble to burst and bring me back to reality :-P
Todays plan is to stay at home as we are having friends over for cake :-) I weighed myself this morning and I need to lose another 8 kilos to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. Since it's only been almost 4 weeks I'm not too concerned. My deadline is June next year and in a few weeks I'm allowed to start exercising :-)

I got a good nights sleep last night. Astrid only woke up once at 4.30. I changed her, fed her and burped her and then she fell asleep again, not every night is this easy, but all in all she is a very good baby :-)
Shirin is meeting me at the tube and we are going for a coffee.

Not so glamorous at all :-)
xoxo
Grey and Nude
This blazer, blouse and leggings from Next. The blazer is £55, the blouse £48 and the leggings £9 and they will be delivered tomorrow :-)
A while ago I ordered these woolly hats from New Look. It's getting colder (not as cold as in Sweden) and I need something to keep me warm. Together with my knitted Uggs I call them my mummy gear :-)
Cleaning and laundry day today
xoxo
Just ordered
Went to Starbucks today where Astrid fell asleep in my lap, she knows a good thing already ;-) Going to have a superhot bath now...

Gingerbread Latte
My stepbrother and his man came to see us yesterday morning. My stepbrother is also Astrid's godfather and he brought her a very cute little present.
a woolly hat by Gucci, isn't it the cutest? :-) When we go outside later she is going to wear it for the very first time :-) It's a little bit big, but I'll just fold it and it will be fine...

Baby's first designer...
Today's look is casual cute :-) I had plans to meet up with Seema but she had an emergency she had to take care of. I still need to go out as I have to buy tonights dinner and I also need some air even though it's looking properly cold out there.
Jeans are from Topshop, belt is Louis Vuitton and the blouse is New Look
On Saturday we had a two year old's birthday party to go to in the morning and I decided to wear my H&M snakeprint dress adnd boots I bought in Dorothy Perkins years ago and never wore...
Baby is waking up (or never fell asleep properly)

Two coat of nailvarnish, just added a third, I guess you could add as many coats as you want depending on how glittery you want it to be...

Here is the shopping post I have been trying to upload for ages :-) The dangers of sitting at home most days is going online and doing the shopping that way. Much more dangerous than going tot he shops as when you are at home you don't even have to hand your card over, most of the sites have my card details saved so I don't even have to type the number in so it doesn't feel like I am spending money :-)
I got this dress from H&M when I was in Stratford last, £14.99
Ordered this skirt from River Island £40
The nail varnishes I ordered on Amazon arrived yesterday and today. All three are part of The Muppet Collection and are perfect for the glittering party season that has started :-)
Also got this ring and the necklace from River Island on Sunday. As you have seen in the previous posts the necklace is a new favourite of mine. The rollneck Iwore yesterday was also bought on Sunday from H&M, in Beige and another one in White, £7.99 each. I think the skull ring was £15...
I have also ordered two more nailvarnishes from Models Own from the Beetlejuice Collection
So I believe I am set for the party season, even though I am not going anywhere :-P Still, it's nice to make an effort on a everyday basis. If you are a frequent visitor to my blog you will know I like to look nice and love anything glamorous ;-)xoxo
Shopping
Yesterday I had a girls + babies date in South Woodford. We have anew place we sometimes go to and it's called Lily's Indulgence. They have excellent coffee and cakes and also loads of space for pushchairs and babies :-) The only negative thing I have found is they don't accepts cards under £10, so it's best to always have cash on you.
If you live in the area it's definitely worth checking it out, on George Lane, just outside the tube station.
(all pictures my own except for the first one which I found on Google)
